The view from the steps of the Basilica di Santa Croce in #Lecce. There was a wedding on and I think maybe I was in the way, but lots of other tourists were definitely being more annoying.

Lecce is beautiful - could spend weeks here just drawing drawing drawing.

There are SO MANY amazing wonderful cities and towns outside the big four ( Venice, Rome, Milan, Florence) that are charming, intimate and totally welcoming. I wish more visitors would make an effort to explore further.
